Yeah I meant to say that to you , I heard from Elly that you lived in Wiesbaden. I lived there too for about 9months in 1994 in a town land called Nordenstadt, with my mums cousin and her family. I used to listen to the Armed Forces Radio in Darmstadt all the time! I agree, its a lot easier to keep in touch now, and I'd be lost without my laptop. Thanks for reading... Hey GM.

It brought back many memories of both my trip to the Dam and also of venture into life in Wiesbaden way back in the early 70's. A letter from home with a bar of Cadbury's in it, (it was all snail mail back then & expensive phone calls) was a big treat. The letters took five days to reach their destination. Now we have email, IM, twitter and Skype, as one of my commenter's says the world is now flat. Not alone do I agree, I think it has shrunk as well! Year two goes in the blink of an eye. Enjoy! Great post Elf.

Get your plans together and a great weekend will be had! Amsterdam Pride is especially fun and Str8 friendly! :) (July 31st-Sept 2nd) The homesickness does get to me... I am as much as I fight it, a home bird. That said I am glad I came here, its a lot more successful than my time in Paris which was disaster central! :) Ah Lottie, Amsterdam can’t wait to see you too!

You speak of Amsterdam with such affection that I now can't wait to go. I don't think I would survive the homesickness but I can always dream of living abroad.

I went over to visit the other half and ended up staying. It's a great city for spontaneity, eh? Your next year will FLY by... not long now til the summertime and there's nowhere I'd rather be when the weather is nice. Enjoy :) Ah, I remember the feeling well!
